Throughout 2009 Renaisi is the regional partner for the London and South East branch of the National Association for Neighbourhood Management (NANM). NANM’s aim is to support organisations working at the neighbourhood level to ‘narrow the gap’ by improving the quality of life in those communities. They do this by facilitating shared learning, producing practical guides and keeping their members up to date with the latest policy and practice. As a partner, Renaisi will be designing and delivering regional learning events, as well as aiding the NANM to market their activities and attract new members.
NANM’s learning events are about achieving better neighbourhood outcomes by reviewing and learning from projects being delivered at a neighbourhood/community level. The events, which are aimed at those delivering services at the neighbourhood level, allow delegates, speakers and hosts to share their learning and skills, and provide lessons that are transferable to people’s own local situations.
Renaisi believe that NANM is the main vehicle by which the experience and role of neighbourhood-based working can be harnessed and promoted. Renaisi are committed to ensuring the good work of all neighbourhood management initiatives is supported and sustained, as this work continues to be critical to improving the lives of people living in some of our poorest communities.
